PostThu Apr 28, 2005 5:45 pm    The Pentagon Strike

It amazes me, but online, as well as at other locations, there is a debate on the true nature of the Pentagon attack.

http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/ has a flash video about this. I think it's just a crappy conspiracy theory, but what say you? Let's discuss how bogus these theories are, or how credible they are.

Probably just another conspiracy theory. Still, like all such theories, they manage to make one wonder...

Indeed, I've seen this video before. I agree that in all likelihood, it is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. Is it a credible theory? Although the film is engaging and visually well constructed, the authors are rather ambiguous about what could have struck the Pentagon other than a plane. Were they implying it was a different type of plane not mentioned, or even some sort of stolen missile?

I think it's more credible than, say, the theories that Area 51 deals in cover UFO technology. The film does raise some valid questions, but unfortunate like all films it is biased, so it's possible that these questions have very simple answers that just aren't being presented because these answers also refute the theory.

Food for thought though.

A local radio station call in show had a guy as a guest who was talking about this. His argument was based on a few facts, all of which I could easily disprove; I called the station, and got through to the producer, the guy tells me he's not going to put me on, because the guest speaker was not "prepared" to do a live debate. I told him all of the facts that disproved the guy, and he said "i'll pass it on". Never heard it passed.

Alright, could anyone tell me what, if this is true, happened to the flight and the PEOPLE who were on that flight?

Pffft, there is footage of what is clearly a wing in a flyover of the Pentagon, (9/11 footage). And duh, they evacuated the area quickly. PENTAGON. Think about what the Pentagon is, and that should clear that up.

Yeah, I agree. But my friend believes it and is telling others about it, who are believing it, and I want to truly dispute that.

Where is this footage? I would very much like to see it But then one could argue that that wasn't the plane that they say. The 9/11 Commission report apparently states that the plane flew 2 feet above the ground, and that's an "argument" used by my friend. And you are right. They would have gotten rid of the plane quickly, correct?

Who says there would have been a lot left to get rid of? And there are DVD's out there w/ lots of footage, you can try to find one, harder to find now.

The footage, skeptics claim, is not of the actual 757 or whatever it is, but just of explosions with hardly anything being seen. I watched a CNN report ON 9/11 on their site a while back, and they talked about eye witness accounts.
